Getting Started

Running your Restaurant requires that you carefully balance the management of your resources and ingredients. If you're having problems, this section should help! There are several important aspects to remember: Cooking, Learning Recipes, Shopping for Ingredients, Decorating and Styling.

Cooking
Cooking is the best way to earn Coins and Experience Points to level up.
Buy Appliances like Stoves, Ovens, Deli Stations, and Drink Makers in the Market.
Tap an Appliance to see your Menu. This is a list of all the recipes you can cook with that Appliance.
Tap a Menu item and then tap the Cook button to start cooking.
When a recipe is finished cooking, tap it to add it to your counters and gain Experience Points (EXP). Make to have enough counter space!
Customers will eat the food you place on your counters and pay you Coins when they finish (they may even leave a tip!)

Learning Recipes
You need to learn new recipes before you can cook them.
Learning a new Recipe requires Coins and sometimes other materials.
Learn a recipe by tapping on it in your Cooking Menu!
Some recipes can only be learned by completing specific goals. Tap on a Locked by Goal recipe to learn more about which Goals to complete.

Shopping for Ingredients
The best way to gain ingredients is to use Grocers like the General Store or the Veggie Market.
Tap on a Grocer building and then tap on ingredients to buy them for Coins.
Ingredients take time to restock! Upgrade Grocers to increase the number of ingredients they can stock.
Watch out for Special Customers like Cid the Construction Worker! He can give you Parts to Upgrade your Grocers.

Decorating and Styling
You can buy new items, decorations, and styles in the Market.
These items are bought using Coins, which you earn from Cooking and from Customers.
To buy a decoration, tap on the item in the Market. It will appear in your restaurant - tap on the check mark button to confirm your purchase.
Tables, Chairs, Counters, Walls, and Floors can be Styled. Tap on a Style in the Market to buy it.
You only need to buy a Style once, and you can use it as many times as you want!
Buy additional Tables, Chairs, and Counters by tapping on the Buy More button on the left side of the screen.

Create A Storm8 ID

Before you can add neighbours (explained in the Neighbours section) you must first create a Storm8 ID. To create a Storm8 ID open the Social page from the Main Menu and tap the Invite Friends tab. If you already have a Storm8 ID it will be displayed at the top of the page. If you do not have a Storm8 ID, you will have to sign up for one. Remember that when choosing a Storm8 ID this is what you will give to other players if you want them to invite you as a neighbour, so be sure that you choose wisely.

Note: Your Storm8 ID and password are important for recovering your Storm8 games in case you lose your device or games.

Complete cruises to win gem recipes and the Special Customers will visit your restaurant to drop you the ingredients for making them. You can make these recipes in Celebration Stove and Jubilee Oven. Festive Stove comes with a gem recipe. You will get random gems every time you serve these recipes.
Celebration Stove
Jubilee Oven
Festive Stove

Normal Chefs
You start with one chef in your restaurant. When you buy your second diner stove, you will get a second chef.

Special Chefs
These are the limited time Chefs that you earned as rewards from past cruises. They appear when you display these appliances in your restaurant.
Ghost Pirate - Ghostly Stove
Willow - Snowy Oven

Expansion Requirements

Expand your Restaurant by tapping on the wooden sign outside. Expanding costs Coins and Parts.
You can get Parts like Blueprints, Nails, and Wood Planks from Cid the Construction Worker. Tap him while he's eating and he may give you a Part!

Giving Gifts To Your Friends
To give a Gift to another player, you must first add them as a Neighbor. You can then send a Gift either directly through the Neighbors page by tapping the Gift button next to their name or by visiting a Neighbor's Restaurant and then tapping the Gift icon on the bottom right side of the screen. When you send a gift, you are not giving up items you already have, and it doesn't cost anything. It is like buying your friends presents for completely free! Your friends will surely appreciate that and return the favor!

You can gift as many neighbours as you like but you can only send 1 gift to a neighbour a day. Once your neighbour has received your gift, you will not be able to gift them until the next game day. Game resets at midnight California time. You can use this Time Zone Converter (https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter-classic.html) to figure out your local time. You can enter "San Francisco" for the S8 time zone.

Receiving Gifts From Neighbours
When a Neighbor sends you a gift, a News icon will appear on your screen. Tap it to open it and accept or decline the gifts you've been sent. There will be an option to send a return gift.

How can I get more gems?
You can get gems through the following:
by purchase
game download goals
cook gem recipes
watch a video
complete the tasks in the Trophy Case

Buy gems
You can get more Gems by tapping the [Add] button next to the [Gems] icon at the top of the screen. Once you tap this [Add] button, you will be able to select from various Gem offers available for purchase.

Other games goals
You sometimes get goals to download and play other Storm8 games in your goal list. Download and play these games to be rewarded with gems.

When you get this game goal prompt in Restaurant Story 2, do not install the new game immediately. You should check your other Storm8 games and see they get this prompt. This way, you will get the gem/gold rewards in your other games as well.

Unlock and repair the garden to start gardening. Plant herbs in the Garden by tapping on Garden Plots, and wait to see what grows! Some Herbs are more rare than others. You can unlock new Garden Plots by using Seeds and Shovels. You can get Seeds from Lilly, a Special Customer, but it may take a few tries!

Herbs
These are the herbs which you can grow in your garden. Use these herbs for cooking recipes and making spices in the Spice Station.
Basil - harvests in 30mins (unlocks at level 15)
Garlic - harvests in 30mins (unlocks at level 15)
Ginger - harvests in 2 hour (unlocks at level 20)
Vanilla - harvests in 8 hour (unlocks at level 24)
Cloves - harvests in 1 hour (unlocks at level 58)

The Herbs (Basil, Garlic, and Ginger) are stored in the Pantry. The Seeds are stored in the Tool Box. Lily has a chance to drop both items. To avoid getting this message, we suggest ensuring you always have room in both.

Plots
Expand the plots in your garden to grow more herbs. Each plot takes 4 hours to construct.

Hey guys! Currently you need to be at least Level 33 to be receiving these seeds.

Community
The Community is composed of everyone who plays Restaurant Story 2. You can help members of the Community by visiting their Restaurant or writing an encouraging comment on their walls. To find members of the Community, visit the Social page by tapping the icon in the top right corner of the game, and tapping the Community tab. From here you can view a list of several Community members and go to their Restaurants by tapping the Visit button.
When you visit another player's Restaurant, you can interact with their tables and leave them Coins. This increases your Social Rating and grants them extra Coins when they return! Your Social Rating is displayed at the bottom of the Restaurant you are visiting and can range from 0 to 4 hearts. A higher Social Rating increases your chances of appearing at the top of the Community list when other players are looking for someone to visit. Keep in mind that you can only tip a limited number of tables at each player you visit per day, so if you want to get a Social Rating of 4, you will need to help several Community members or Neighbors (explained in the Playing With Friends section).

Playing With Friends
You can become Neighbors with your friends from other Storm8 Studios and Storm8 games or become Neighbors with Community members you've met in Restaurant Story 2. A Neighbor is similar to a Community member but you can send them gifts, and gain experience when visiting them each day. To become Neighbors you need to follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Select Social from the Main Menu, tap the Invite tab and signup for a Storm8 ID if you haven't already.
Step 2: Tap the empty box next to the "Friend's Storm8 ID" text, enter your friend's Storm8 ID, and tap Invite.
You have now invited someone to be your Neighbor. They won't show up as your Neighbor until they accept the invite.
Likewise, other players can invite you to be their Neighbor using your Storm8 ID. To see if someone has invited you to become their Neighbor, select Social and tap the Invite tab. Neighbor Requests that you have received will be displayed and you can either accept or decline them.

Neighbour Quick-Add
When you visit another player's Restaurant via the Community list, you can instantly send a neighbor invite by tapping on the Add Neighbor button at the bottom right-hand side of the screen. You must have a Storm8 ID in order to Quick-Add other players. You can only Quick-Add up to 3 players each day. You can still invite additional neighbors from the Invite tab in the Social menu.

You can add your ID and find others looking for neighbours in the Add Me forum. https://forums.storm8.com/forumdisplay.php?72-Add-Me

Tap on the red "-" button that appears next to the item(s) you wish to discard:
https://i.imgur.com/6YAavRxm.jpg

Tap the "+" or "-" buttons to change the amount you wish to discard, then hit confirm:
https://i.imgur.com/Bk5VTqPm.png

Note: This action cannot be reversed, so be sure you are discarding the correct amount of the intended item.

Upgrade Your Pantry
You can upgrade the capacity of your Pantry so you can store more items!
Tap on your Pantry in your Restaurant.
Tap the green "Upgrade" button.
Use Parts to upgrade the building and increase your storage capacity.

You can send Mystery Boxes to your friends, which sometimes contain Quick Serves! To send a gift, tap on the Social button and tap "Gift". Send gifts to your neighbors, and they may gift you back! Use Quick Serves to instantly sell the food on your Counters. You can only hold a maximum of 40 Quick Serves, so be sure to use them!

Some customers give you special items when they eat at your Restaurant! Cid the Construction Worker gives you Parts like Blueprints, Nails and Wood Planks. Use these items to Upgrade your Grocers and Pantry, or Expand your Restaurant. Lilly gives you herbs or seeds to add more plots in your Herbs Garden.

Meet Cid! Cid is a special customer, who enjoys your food so much that he leaves some pretty amazing tips for you! Special customers appear less frequently, but give our active players a chance to earn some valuable rewards. Remember, safety first! He'll always be wearing an orange vest with a yellow construction hat!

https://i.imgur.com/b1eAWXM.png

When you see Cid, tap on the bubble above his head and he'll drop a few different items to help you. He has a chance to drop Blue Prints, Wood Planks, Hammers, Nails, or Shovels. Note: This may change in future updates.

https://i.imgur.com/xJKTggC.png

You can locate the items he drops in your Toolbox. To view these items, access your Pantry and tap on the lower tab for the Toolbox. You can go there to see how many Tools you have. If you run out of space and need to make room, don't worry! Check out this thread (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?76678-Pantry-Toolbox-at-Capacity-How-to-Delete-Items) to see how you can discard unwanted items.

Lilly is the girl with the yellow handkerchief. :)

You have a chance to get either Seeds or Herbs from her. Once you have enough Seeds, you can repair one of the Garden Plots (upper right area of your game). Once a Plot is repaired, you can continue to water it to reap what you sow. Each time you water it, you have a chance to get Ginger (among other things). Good luck!

Special Customers who drop ingredients for making recipes
Complete cruises to win gem recipes and the Special Customers will visit your restaurant to drop you the ingredients for making them. See a list of these Special Customers here (https://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?83244-Cruise-Main-Guide&p=1310363&viewfull=1#post1310363).

Spices
Use Herbs from your Garden to create Spices at the Spice Station.
Add Spices to foods by tapping on an Appliance while food is cooking. You can only Spice a food one time.
Spicing a food increases the number of Coins each serving is worth. Simple Spice makes each Serving of food worth 1 extra coin!

Spice Station
Available at: level 15
Maximum: 1

You can make the following spices at the Spice Station.
Simple Spice - unlocks at Level 15
House Blend - unlocks at Level 20
Mastery Spice - unlocks at Level 24
Expert Blend - unlocks at Level 58

What does master spice do?

Note: When it says you get a star, it does not mean you complete the first of the three masteries.
It means you will get one baby star.

For example on my orange juice I have not gotten my 1st mastery star yet. I need 75 baby stars to master the 1 star.
I have 25 out of 75 so my next serving will change to 26 out of 75. If I use my master spice it will change to 27 out of 75.

The Street Market offers ingredients you can buy for coins. The Street Market stock refreshes every 10 minutes.
You can use Parts to add slots to the Street Market, so you can buy more ingredients at once.

Why can't I build more Tables, Chairs, or Appliances?
Tables, chairs, and appliances have restrictions on the number which you're allowed to have for a specific level. If you are unable to place any more of a specific item, you'll need to level up in order to unlock the ability to place more.

How Do I Increase my Level?
To increase your level, you have to earn experience (EXP) points. You gain EXP by tapping on your Appliances after your food is finished cooking.

It says my Pantry is full - what now?

How do I get parts to upgrade my buildings? What about expansion parts?
Get Parts like Nails, Blueprints, and Hammers from Cid the Construction Worker!
Cid eats at your Restaurant several times a day. Tap on him while he's eating and he'll give you a part!

How Do I Move Items?
Items can be moved by tapping the Market button and then tapping the item you wish to move. You can drag the item to a new position and tap the green check mark when its in an eligible place that you're happy with. Alternatively, you can enter edit mode by tapping and holding down on any item.

How do I put items in Storage? How do I get them back out again?
Tap on the Market to enter Edit Mode. Tap the item you wish to remove, and then tap the box icon that appears above the item.
To find an item in your Storage, tap the Market button and then find the item inside the Market. You do not need to buy it again - just tap on the item to place it in your Restaurant.

How Do I Sell Items?
If you would like to sell an item, tap the Market button on the screen and then tap the item you wish to sell. You will see a Sell button next to the item. Be careful before you decide to sell anything though, you may have to work hard to get it again, and some rewards you won't be able to win a second time.
